Georgia heads to SEC title game
Digest more
Georgia will play for the SEC Championship next week, like it or not. The Beltline debate is simply a symptom of FBS college football's current crossroads -- a postseason stitched together by overlapping solutions that other levels of the sport perfected long ago, yet still hasn't quite landed here.
As for who Georgia might play in this year’s SEC championship game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, that is still to be decided. If Alabama beats Auburn on Saturday night, Georgia will get a rematch against the Crimson Tide next week. Alabama beat Georgia 24-21 earlier in the season.
The Ole Miss Rebels won their Black Friday matchup against the Mississippi State Bulldogs 38-19, finishing the regular season 11-1, with the only loss coming to the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens. The Rebels now sit and wait as they watch Texas A&M on Friday night and Alabama on Saturday night to determine if they'll play in their program's first SEC Championship game.

No. 16 Texas spoils No. 3 Texas A&M’s perfect season 27-17, knocks Aggies out of SEC title game
Arch Manning threw a touchdown pass and ran for the clinching score late in the fourth quarter and No. 16 Texas beat No. 3 Texas A&M 27-17 on Friday night to spoil the Aggies’ undefeated season and knock them out of the Southeastern Conference championship game.
Georgia, meanwhile, will play in the SEC championship for the fifth straight year, and eighth time in the last nine years. This also ensures that, for the 12th consecutive year, either Georgia or Alabama will play in Atlanta — potentially both, for what would be the fifth time since 2014 and the sixth since 2012.
